iittIo tottorino baby feet,

The little tottering baby feet,
With faltering steps and slow.
With pattering echoes soft and sweet
Into my heart they go.
They also 60, in grimy plays,
In muddy pools and dusty WAYS.
Then through the house in trackful maze
They wander to and fro.
The baby hands that clasp my neck
With touches dear to me,
Are the same hands thatsmash and wreck
The iukstand foul to see:
They pound the mirror with a cane,
They rend the manuscript in twain,
Widespread destruction they ordain
In wasteful jubilee.
The dreamy, murm ring voice
That COOS it's little tune,
That makes my listening heart rejoice,
Like birds in leafy June,
Can wake in midnight dark and still,
An all the air with bowling fill
That splits the ear with echoes shrill,
Like comets out OF tune.

The immense amount Of snow which has
fallen during the past two weeks, accom-
panied by high winds, has filed the couees
to such an extent that travel has been
almost impossible and the mail has been
very irregular in consequence, only two or
three mails having reached us during this
month.
The continued severe weather has driven
large numbers Of cattle into the mountains
for shelter and as the snow is very deep
the poor brutes are in "a starving coidi-
ton. A number Of the weaker ones have
already persisted and il the hills are not
speedily freed from snow i; IL evident that
the loss Of cattle will be very great.

improved but suffered relapse last fall
from which she never fully recovered and
continued to decline until yesterday when
she passed quietly away, surrounded by

A "BO0m'' Coming.

The approaching spring will witness
the greatest boom that Idaho has ever
experienced. 1t will not be q tenn
porary affair, as is SO often the case in
the West, for Idaho has passed her
crisis, and all over the Territory better
induce ments are held out to home
seekers than is the case in any other
Western State or Territory. There
are hundreds of thousands of acres
of as good land as the sun ever shone
upon lying waste awaiting the exodus
from other States and Territories,
whittier people have been led by fic-
titious booms. Idaho, the "Gem OF
the Mountains" has taken new life,
and nothing short Of series of earth
quakes can retard her progress. She
has suffered all the backsets known to
the West, but has nobly outlived
them, and today is on the brink
Of lasting prosperity. -Cassia County

Superior to Anything.

A prominent business man in Will
mington, Del, in speaking OF cure
of cancer on himself, writes to the
Morning News of that city:
l can say further that my case Is
not an isolated one. A lady, Gus.
toner of mine, was suffering from a
cancer affection Of the nose. She had
spent great deal of money and time
running to Philadelphia to consult
the best physicians there, but could
get but little or no relief. About a
year ago l told her of my case, and
induced her to try the S. S. S. remedy.
She did SO, and IN a few weeks was
much better. She had several opera.
tons performed, and was disposed to
hold on to her old treatment as we'll
as the new, but finally she threw all
aside but the S. S. s., and in two
months from that time was thoroughly
cured.
Another lady suffering from an alb
scess on her arm had been doctoring
for long time in this city, Chester
and Philadelphia, but could not get
any relief, apparently. She had fal
len away to mere shadow Of her
former self, and could scarcely eat or
sleep. She commenced to take the
S. S. S. incidence, upon the advice OF
friends and myself, but was SO re-
duced in flesh that she had little
stomach trouble at first. She per.
sisted, however, and after the third
bottle declared it had done her more
good than anything else she had ever
tried. l NOV understand that she is
entirely we'll, and loud in her praise
of S. S. S.
l have several other cases in mind,
but am not at liberty to speak oil
them. believe the Swift Specific

A Swiss Forestry Law,

There is law in Switzerland which
eompcls every newly-married couple
to plant trees shortly after the cere-
mony of marriage. The trees ordered
to be planted on wedding days are
the pine and the weeping willow, and
on natal day she birch. 1t is very
much to be feared that "the birch"
and other trees which furnished our
grandmothers with material to strain
youth have not of late years been
properly cultivated, and the time is
not far distant when a Swiss or q
similar law will have to be enacted
in this country-if not for the pur.
pose OF supplying mothers with cor.
rective switches, at least to supply the
timber that will be required by future
generations.
